Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

I preordered him a while back and will be keeping it. I'm really digging the orange because it'll really pop on my TFP shelf. Also, I really like that the beast back appears to form the robot legs and the dragon legs are hidden (at least in the pic) in robot mode.

I'm curious to see the larger version too though, be it Supreme, Weaponizer, Leader, etc. If it's another good model that is different enough to justify (maybe even just by the size), then I might be getting both!

What do you mean "finally"? It was the gimmick for one size class in one toyline. Only 8 figures, assuming Skyquake ever makes it to market. And it hasn't even been a full year. I know it wasn't a popular gimmick but you're making it sound like it infected the entire brand.

Where do you get any indication he meant the entire brand? The "Powerizer" gimmick was strictly PRiD, so I'm sure he was referring to those Voyagers.

My point is that he's making such a fuss about it that you would think the problem was more wide-reaching than it really is.

One could easily connect Mechtech and Powerizers together, given the very similar gimmick. I for one am also glad that the Powerizer/Mechtech gimmick is done with, because as far as I was concerned, they were the same thing, and the whole reason I didn't collect DotM.

It's also very similar to the Mechtech gimmick in DOTM, so if you consider it a continuation of said gimmick (I do), it's a welcome change. [Edit: Lord Onixprime agrees also ]

Gilbert Gottfried.

LOOOOOOL! That would be most hilarious.

As for my opionion on the figure: Meh. I think I can safely pass on this line unless they continue to release some legit, non-spikey vehicle modes.

I think the beast mode hind legs fold up and become the back half of the bot mode legs, but they're well hidden and I for one like how it's done, from what I can see. 2 distinct modes ... well played!

You sound like this is the first time they've ever done a beast figure whose transformation wasn't just "stand up on limbs and fold down the head".

I know it's not the first, but given that most of the beast figures are either "stand up" transformations, or shell formers, this is a VERY welcome sight. And I will admit, there have been some very good beasts, but majority are underwhelming and repetative feeling. And considering the rest of the BH line (remolds, that have been a disappoint for most people), the downsizing the last couple years, weapon gimicks AND that he's getting an impressive larger figure, I had very low expecations for this.

I wanna thank hasbro for ruining TFP for me. But I will say this figure isn't that bad it's just laserbeak and the other deluxe figures look like crap to me. So as far as I'm concerned the TFP toy line is over for me I will now be only looking forward to downgraded deluxe generation/FOC figures. At least I have 3rd party to keep me happy when ever they release.

Lazerback! Not Laserbeak.

I told you people were going to get easily confused.

And, the addition of Predacons ruin TFP for you? They're not gonna stop making carformers if that's your dilemma.

No, the front legs are the arms. It's the hind legs that flipped the bird on the complainers.

I'm still a little confused as to whether there is indeed an ultra sized figure in the works but I'd like the biggest Predaking figure they are willing to give us.

There is, but the size class is unknown. Ultra, Supreme, Weaponizer...it's all speculation at this point.

can't say I'm particularly impressed with either offering. Maybe get one if he's awesome on the show, or I end up being able to get him for dirt cheap somewhere down the line, but right now he's not a must have.
